DOHA, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- Following are the lyrics of the song "Light the Way" sung by Spanish tenor Jose Carreras and Lebanese vocalist Magida el Roumi, one of the most popular singers in the Arab world, together at the opening ceremony of the 15th Asian Games in Doha on Friday:

    You can reach the stars

    Courageous boundless height

    The future's never far

    Let history making start

    See the flags of our nations unfurl

    For today we will win for the world

    And I reach out my hand

    I offer you my heart today

    Let friendship guide the world

    And we will light the way

    And we will light the way

    Yes we will light the way

    Noble brave and strong

    It is here that the greatest belong

    When the world sees a soul bold and true

    All our golden dreams are inspired by you

    And I reach out my hand

    I offer you my heart today

    Let friendship guide the world

    And we will light the way

    And we will light the way

    Yes we will light the way

    Everybody sing it from the desert to the sea

    We can show the world how life could be

    We're stronger when we stand together you and me

    And we will light the way

    Yes we will light the way

    And I reach out my hand

    I offer you my heart today

    Let friendship guide the world

    And we will light the way

    And we will light the way

    Light the way

    Note: The song was sung by Carreras in English and Roumi in Arabic at the arrival of the Asian Games' Torch.
